It feels awesome to be proud of myself - I go through long periods of time being very not proud of myself. Not proud of my weight, not proud of my looks, not proud of my behavior sometimes... it goes on and on!
Well today I am RIDICULOUSLY proud.
I am proud of who I am becoming.
I am proud of myself for taking the time to see I deserve it.
And I am super proud of what I just did. I am going out of town thur thru sat with my mom. It will involve eating out ALOT so tomarrow needs to be a right on day. So I just packed my food for work and decided instead of sandwiches or frozen veggie patties like I normally do - I decided to stick to meals that are fresh, healthy and free of things I cant pronounce! So I just baked some plain chicken with a garlic/fresh herbs seasoning, steamed some brocoli and made some brown rice that I mixed in sauted garlic and onion - my favorite! So here is my meal plan for tomarrow...
545 am Green Monster Smoothie (3), english muffin with small amt preserves (1.5)
8am Low sugar oatmeal (2) , coffee with skim milk (1)
10am wasa crackers with 2 wedges of laughing cow cheese (2)
1230pm chicken, rice, brocoli (4.5)
330pm cottage cheese with strawberries (3)
6pm chicken, rice, brocoli (4.5)
730pm ride home - small bag of carrots (0)
total points 21.5
That leaves 5.5 - so 5 points for after I get home - I am hoping to get a run in when I get home and then will allow myself to have a bowl of cereal with fruit or something of that nature after my workout.
My version of the Green Monster - Im trying to get it more green since the last one was bright purple!
1.5 cups fresh spinach
1 cup almond breeze
1/2 banana
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup strawberries
Hope it turns out better! My other one was tasty but lacked in the leafy greens. I will get some flaxseed next time Im at the store to add next time.
As for my trip coming up... I am packing a cooler with
Apples
Oranges
Carrots
Roasted Garlic Hummus
A few bottles of water

sucked it up....
Today was suck it up day...
1. I sucked it up and went OUTSIDE in the cold and had an amazing 2 mile run - probually could have went for three but my dog was being a PITA. It felt AWESOME to run outside again!
2. I sucked it up and called the people that decide when I can take my certification exam for my nurse practitoner licence. They still technically had 2 more weeks to get back to me but I wanted to know NOW... so fearing they would tell me to quit calling, I called anyways and was SOOO happy I did. I have been approved to take the exam and the women gave me a confirmation # so that I could schedule my appointment for my exam without the letter. So I am officially taking my exam a week from Friday on March 12th. Now it is real and it is soooo scary! Alot depends on this exam. So I took off work all next week and while I have been studying quite a bit, I have kicked it up a notch.
3. I sucked it up and realized I need some help in the fitness department and while money is alittle tight, my health and happiness is just as important as anything else. SOOOO next week I have a personal trainer (THANKS SHANNON) coming to my house to kick my ass! I am so excited!!!
I am also excited about today - I am about to spend some fun quality time with my little man when he wakes up from his nap. Sometimes I LOVE my life!!!

March stats and goals...
So its the first of another month. Which means time to look at my stats and make my goals for this month.
Starting weight 196
Todays weight 179.5
Total loss 17.5lbs!!!
Starting and Todays measurements
Chest Starting -46in Today 42.5in Loss = 3.5in
Abdomen Starting-43 in Today 39in loss = 4 in
Hips Starting-47.5 in Today 44 in Loss = 3.5 in
Total inches lost - 11 inches!
Goals for March
1. Lose another 6 lbs. This will take me to 172.5 and will be 100% fully in the 170s and close to the 160s! This is 1.5 lbs a week and is definately doable if I work at it!
2. Lose 2 inches in each area - chest, abdomen and hips. I think I could have done better in the inches department in 7 weeks. I have done almost no toning exercises so I need to add toning/weights to my current routine. Im even going to look into possibly a trainer to help me out and really push it!
3. Run a total of 40 miles over the course of this month - that is slightly more than 3 miles 3 times a week. I need to start a running journal.
